This document activates the main operational Parts of the national land transport legislation — covering funding, planning, and project approval rules — on a specific date set by the Governor-General. Before this date, those Parts were dormant; after this date, they were legally binding.\n\n**Key detail:** The proclamation was signed by Governor-General Michael Jeffery on 21 July 2005, giving one week's notice before the rules took effect."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/auslink-national-land-transport-act-2005-proclamation","history":"/api/acts/auslink-national-land-transport-act-2005-proclamation/history","analysis":"/api/acts/auslink-national-land-transport-act-2005-proclamation/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/auslink-national-land-transport-act-2005-proclamation/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/auslink-national-land-transport-act-2005-proclamation/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/auslink-national-land-transport-act-2005-proclamation/documents"}}
